MagneGas Agrees to Form New European Joint Venture for the Acquisition of Infinite Fuels, GmbH, an Emerging German BioFuels Company

Joint Venture Expected to Launch Commercial Operations Late Q1 2018

TAMPA, FL--(Marketwired - February 06, 2018) - MagneGas Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNGA), a leading clean technology company in the renewable resources and environmental solutions industries, announced the execution of a Letter of Intent to form an Ireland-based holding company for the express purpose of acquiring 100% of Infinite Fuels, GmbH, an emerging biofuels company based in northern Germany. MagneGas will initially own a 40% stake in the joint venture, with the possibility of increasing the Company's equity stake to 70%. The remaining equity stake will be owned by the current principals of Infinite Fuels. Following formation of the joint venture, the new entity will assume 100% ownership of Infinite Fuels. The initial transaction is expected to be funded through a combination of cash on hand and equity in the new joint venture.

The joint venture will operate in two renewable energy segments. First, Infinite Fuels will launch its biodiesel operations at an existing facility based in northern Germany, currently operating through a public-private partnership. The purpose of this project will be to pilot a government-backed initiative to convert bio-waste to energy. The second initiative will be to launch the first MagneGas2® production facility in Europe. As part of the proposed transaction, the joint venture entity will have the option to purchase up to six 300 KW gasification units from MagneGas over the next 5 years. The joint venture will also pay annual consulting and exclusivity fees, royalties and equity ownership derived income to MagneGas.

This project is currently part of a combined project financing application with a leading European Union government backed agency. Terms of this financing application are currently confidential at the financing party's request. Operations under the new joint venture are expected to launch late in the first quarter of 2018.

"This is an important next step in the expansion of MagneGas' manufacturing and sales capabilities in Europe," commented Ermanno Santilli CEO of MagneGas. "We recently met with the owners of Infinite Fuels, their advisors at Ernst & Young, and the European Union government agency working to complete the project financing application. We elected to enter into this formal joint venture to maximize the potential value of the opportunity and accelerate our commercial operations in Europe. Based on the intended structure of the new joint venture, we will be able to better leverage the support of a leading European financial institution and a big four global consulting company, to quickly unlock the potential of our gasification and sterilization technology. Our partners have done an excellent job preparing a top tier client base of Fortune 500 companies that are ready and waiting to begin purchasing our technology at scale. We believe the European market has the potential to rapidly dwarf sales in the United States."

"This acquisition provides a low-cost, immediate entry point for revenue generation in a major new market," commented Scott Mahoney, CFO of MagneGas. "Equally importantly, the transaction also brings access to scalable government backed financing that is not available in the US. Within Europe, our renewable fuel production and clean technology solutions are eligible for government backed funding programs that offer compelling financial terms that we hope to fully leverage. The European Union has a strong view on environmental issues, and their government controlled financial institutions have a clear mandate to support companies that positively impact the environment. We are very optimistic that this new joint venture will result in a positive outcome for MagneGas, our European partners, and the customers we jointly serve."
